University of Toronto Fashion Week

There is just about one week left until UFashions very first FASHION WEEK! Coinciding with Toronto Fashion Week, March 17-21, we aim to bring students a glamorous yet attainable fashion week experience. Our ultimate goal is to also give back to the community by donating the 'unswaped' clothing and by giving our net proceeds to the Toronto Humane Society. 

Our main events are the Clothing Swap, Fashion Show, and Official After Party! To show the world what we've got, we'll be shooting Street Style shots throughout the week around campus!

Read on for more details about our events:

CLOTHING SWAP

When: Wednesday, March 19, 1-5pm

Where: Hart House, East Common Room

What: The clothing swap aims to bring together the well-dressed UofT community. We provide students with the advantages of proximity by maintaining the event on campus and a fair admission price to add some new pieces to their wardrobes. Students are encourage to bring their items from 1-2 pm and to begin the swap at 2 pm. Students are also encouraged to purchase their FASHION SHOW and AFTER PARTY tickets at the swap!

Cost: With clothing: $3 admission, 1 exchange ticket per item donated. Without clothing: $5 for admission and 3 clothing tickets.

FASHION SHOW

When: Friday, March 21, 7:30-9 pm

Where: Junior Common Room, UC

What: Our annual Spring/Summer Fashion Show gives students a look at some of the best and most unique clothing retailers in the UofT area. It's a chance to bring people together and to inspire students in the midst of an overwhelming amount of libraries! Our models are all fashion savvy students that represent a variety of different body shapes and sizes. Our sponsors are a mix of boutiques and larger retailers as well as a first for the show, an online vintage boutique! Showcasing their stuff so far are: Promise to Repeat, BEDO, Over the Rainbow, The Store on Queen, Coal Miners Daughter, Fresh Collective and TBA. There will be raffles and entertainment during intermission and all net proceeds will go to the Toronto Humane Society!

Cost: $10 early bird, $15 at the door. Tickets will be sold MONDAY at the COMMUTER STUDENT CENTER (79 St. George St) across from Sid Smith. Tickets can also be purchased via meetup by texting (647) 244 - 4662

AFTER PARTY

When: Friday, March 21, 10pm

Where: The Brunswick House AKA Brunny (481 Bloor St W)

What: To cap off the evening we ask you to arrive fashionably late (but not after 12!) to the Brunny where we will be hosting our official after party. We're celebrating the end of of our Fashion Week by getting a little sloppy at UofT's favourite venue, The Brunny! To make it easier for attendants, we're selling tickets with a line bypass so be sure to get them from us during fashion week or at the show! Finally, we're saying a toast to UofT students as this will be the last week to let loose before we lock it down in Robarts and starting studying for exams. 

Cost: $5 ticket.

Nice to meet you!

Well, hello there. 

A couple months after creating our new Facebook page (like us here if you haven't already!), and after finishing a hectic midterm schedule, we are finally able to begin posting on the UFashion blog! Thus, we felt it appropriate for our first post to be an introduction to the team and to tell you what UFashion really is. 

This year, the UFashion executive team was refurbished and our co-president Nancy chose 6 talented, new members to take charge of the group and create an exciting community for the sartorially inclined at U of T. So, without further ado, I would like to introduce you to the 7 new (mostly) and, if I do say so myself, awesome, members of UFashion: Nancy, Inna, Zaid, Rachel, Tania, Sophie and Myself (Becca). If you would like to know a little more about us, feel free to check out the "Meet the Team" page here. 

With a new team, who is equal parts excited and dedicated, we are hoping to bring a fun, and enticing community to students who want to keep up with the fashion world. We will be holding events throughout the year, including the UFashion Mixer on December 4th (THIS Wednesday!), and our annual fashion show, as well as some other new and exciting soirée's, so be sure to keep your eyes open for them! Along with that, I will be posting street style, tips, the occasional DIY tutorial, fashion news and anything else I can come up with to keep you entertained between our events.

I personally think you will all be overjoyed with the new team, and what we are bringing forth to our fellow students. Just knowing my other team members for a short 3 (4?) months, I have come to realize they are some extraordinary fashionistas, and are as pumped as I am to bring fashion to U of T in a relatable, easy and fabulous way!
